A brilliant man has became the first-ever Nigerian to graduate as a Doctor from Russian university after being rejected in Nigeria for being a poor student.
The brilliant man identified as Justin Chukwudi Olewuezi emerged the best graduating student of department of medicine at the Siberia State Medical University, Tomsk, Russia with an exceptional 100% cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 5.00/5.00.
Olewuezi was considered incapable to study medicine in Nigerian universities after writing the country’s university entry examination known as Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) twice, scoring 247 and 260 respectively but was denied admission due to his perceived poor performance.’
He said, “I had always wanted to study abroad and obviously make something of myself back in Air Force comprehensive school, Enugu. So after failing to gain admission twice even with JAMB scores 247 and 260 respectively, I decided to study abroad.
“So after talking with a Russian-trained medical doctor, I decided to go for it (study in Russia),” he narrated.
